PHPUnit Segmentation fault

Question

When a PHPUnit test fails normally on my dev box (Linux Mint), it causes a \"Segmentation Fault\" on my Continous Integration box (Centos). Both machines are running the sam

Answer 1

Next to what cweiske suggested, if upgrading PHP is not an option for you and you have problems to locate the source of the segfault, you can use a debugger to find out more.

You can launch gdb this way to debug a PHPUnit session:

gdb --args php /usr/bin/phpunit quiz_service_Test.php

Then type in r to run the program and/or set environment variables first.

set env MALLOC_CHECK_=3
r

You might also consider to install the debugging symbols for PHP on the system to get better results for debugging. gdb checks this on startup for you and leaves a notice how you can do so.
